There's a new vanguard of sex-positive advocates and professionals using social platforms like Instagram and Youtube to challenge the misconceptions and taboos around all-things-sex, while also promoting sexual expression, and safe and consensual sex. Here are 13 game-changers who are leading the charge, both on and offline:

1.Recent college grad Tasneem Nathari uses her multimedia platform Hoodrat Feminist TV to talk about everything from sexual liberation to women in hip-hop, and to celebrate around the way girls worldwide. Bad bitches link up!

3.A board certified sex coach and podcast host, Raquel Savage is on a mission to erase shaming stigmas around sex and sexuality. Scrolling through her #ThoughtProvokingThirstTraps pics will have you saying "Zamnnn" but also "Preach!"

4.Sex educator Ericka Hart, M.Ed. is a self-described "kinky, poly, cancer-warrior, activist and performer" on an inspiring mission to frame desire and pleasure as political, and ultimately dismantle white supremacist patriarchy for good. And she slays a photoshoot like no other.

5.At the core of sex-positivity lies self-love and that's exactly
what singer-musician Lizzo is all about, whether she's empowering you to be your finest, best self in her power anthem "Good As Hell," or whining like an actual goddess on Instagram.

6.Sam, Rob, Akua, and Rebecca are the four black 20-something feminists behind Inner Hoe Uprising, a smart, hilarious, and SUPER informative podcast about sex, love, and dating. From parenting while poly to healing from sexual trauma, they truly cover it ALLLL.
